Now it’s easy to travel the world without compromising on your work commitments

Have you often dropped your travel plans just because your demanding job doesn’t allow you to take that much needed break? What if I tell you that now the dream of taking a travel break without hampering your work is a reality. Moreover, you also get a chance to meet and bond with professionals from different walks of life, belonging to different cultures from around the world and get an opportunity to further enhance your professional skills by learning from each other and growing your network by several folds also comes easy on this trip.

Wondering what exactly am I talking about? Just like you, I too had several questions in mind when I first heard of this concept of travelling for almost a month, without work getting hampered, being promoted by a website called ‘theremotelife.com’.

In order to have a clear understanding of how this website works, I decided to speak with Mr. Nishchal Dua, CEO and Founder of ‘The Remote Life’.

The Remote Life is a program which was launched on December 5, 2016. It brings together professionals, freelancers, digital nomads and entrepreneurs to work, live and travel. It aims to get more and more people out of their cubicles and into the real world. Their moto is quite simple – they believe that work should not come in the way of travel. Sounds cool right!

How It Works:
They take care of the research, organization and booking of the flights, stay, desk space, and everything else, so that one can see the world, without leaving his/her work. Well, Remote Life does not provide remote jobs, infact Remote Life is a group of like minded people that travels the world while working, not a holiday or vacation package.

A common question that often comes to mind is who would want to work when out on a holiday? Isn’t it better to take leave for 4 to 5 days and just relax? If you are one of those who prefer not to work while on a break, holiday or vacation, then guess, this concept of ‘Remote Life’ is not for you.

The whole idea of Remote Life works well for people who call themselves as travellers, but their full time job often doesn’t give them space to travel that much. By signing up with The Remote Life, one can be relaxed as their work will never get affected as the RL team will make sure you have all the necessary things – like office space, internet connection, etc, to complete your work commitments, along with a scope of enjoying a much-needed break in the free time.

One key point to note here is that, The Remote Life has a complete process of selecting people for the program and a thorough check of the person’s company and other necessary records and details is done. Also, as it’s a group of professionals who will be working while away on a holiday, therefore they do not allow people to take their spouse or kids along with them on the trip.
